  • Russia’s economy is smaller than California’s, yet we still pretend that they’re a massive threat so that we can continue buying aircraft carriers. Graphic should have USA fish about 10x bigger than Russia fish.

    Also, needs Iran and China fishes.

    … and the opposing fishes should be shown buying Russia’s oil with their frowny faces. “I can’t believe that you’re making me buy your oil, you are deplorable. Here’s 50 billion dollars. Jerk. You’re a jerk.”




  • The irreversible damage was caused long before Trump took office, the response to Nixon was the first assault on our democracy, perhaps a mortal wound when he was pardoned. It’s been ongoing since then, getting worse exponentially. NAFTA didn’t help Americans at all, response to 9-11 was horrifying, and Citizens United and Super PACs were the final nails in the the USA’s gigantic coffin.

    Trump admin is the symptom of the disease; in a healthy, functioning republic he could never be a serious candidate. He was obviously unfit before he ever announced that he was going to run for office. He is for sale because the US government is for sale, and billionaires and corporations are buying what they are selling.








  • If they’re smart, they will allow people to paint all over it. Otherwise, it’s an ugly statue aesthetically in my opinion, paint could only improve it.

    If they’re really smart, they did this themselves. Press brings them donations.

    I say this as someone who is anti-Kirk murder and anti-political murders in general. I think his assassination will make his message much stronger than it was when he was alive, and now he’s a martyr for a message that fundamentally thrives on martyrs. He’s already gotten a lot more press than he would of if he was alive.








  • Reagan also won on “sealing the border”

    … only to provide amnesty for those illegally here in the USA.

    One more tired example of the USAs BoTh PaRtIeS shit show, where every campaign promise is automatically never, ever going to happen.

    Bush won with “no new taxes”, made new taxes.

    Clinton won with “universal healthcare”, no universal healthcare.

    Bush Two won with “enough government spending”, spending was phenomenal

    Obama won with “end the endless wars”, endless wars.

    Trump won on “build the wall”, no wall.

    Biden won on “15 an hour”, $7.25 an hour.

    Trump won on “no war”, war.

    Sadly, every generation is as full of suckers as the generation before, there are always enough that fall for the puppet show
